It took me a while to figure out what is it that you're asking about. I looked at the local mirror instructions[1], and that helped. You probably did something like: rsync -aH --delete rsync://rsync.opencsw.org/opencsw/ /export/mirror/opencsw …and you're asking if you can use something else instead of "rsync://rsync.opencsw.org/opencsw/". I think you can, but this depends on the mirror you choose. Depending on the mirror you choose from [2], you might use FTP, HTTP and/or sync. To discover whether a certain mirror supports rsync or not, try looking for information on their website, or just try querying it using rsync. For example, I tried this as a test: rsync rsync://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/opencsw/README . …and it worked.
